Three lucky lottery winners are yet to claim their life-changing £1,000,000 prizes from a landmark EuroMillions draw - and time is ticking before the deadline.

The UK Millionaire Maker draw last Friday (January 12) saw an incredible 10 millionaires made in one night. The missing winners bought their winning tickets online, with The National Lottery urging them to check their emails and log into their account or call the helpline to claim their prizes.

‌Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery, said: “Imagine being a millionaire and not even knowing it. It’s only been just under a week since the special draw, but we’re urging all EuroMillions players to log into their National Lottery account to see if they are one of our missing three winners. Why wait to be a millionaire when I could be on my way to meet you tomorrow with your £1M!”

‌EuroMillions Millionaire Maker guarantees to create a millionaire in every draw but on Friday the special draw created a host of them in one fell swoop. For every EuroMillions line played, UK players automatically receive a EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker code printed on their ticket.

Once a ticket-holder has called The National Lottery and the claim has been validated and paid, the ticket-holder will then decide whether or not to go public and share their news. There will be no information on whether any of these wins are individual or syndicate winners unless the ticket-holders decide to go public.

‌Players can buy and check their tickets online by downloading the National Lottery app or at national-lottery.co.uk. Players can also buy and check tickets in retail. Playing online via the app or website means that your ticket is checked, and you get an email notification if you win a prize. You can also scan your retail tickets on the National Lottery app to check if you're a winner.

‌With all National Lottery draws, players have 180 days from the day of the draw to claim their prize if they have the winning ticket. Anyone who has any queries or who believes they have the winning ticket for any of the National Lottery draws within the 180-day deadline should call the National Lottery Line on 0333 234 5050 or email [email protected].

By playing any National Lottery game, players generate £30M each week for National Lottery-funded projects. This money helps fund projects across the nation, with over 685,000 grants – supporting projects both big and small – having been made across the UK to date and over £48BN having been raised for Good Causes.
